After sleep, computer cannot wakeup

4 posts in this topic

I upgrade my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The sleep becomes broken, which has been working perfectly in Win7.

By broken, I mean when I make the computer into sleep, it sleeps fine. But when I wake it up, there is no reaction from either keyboard, mouse, or the power button.

So I have to hold the power button for a few seconds to turn the computer off, and then restart it. Most of those restarts, I will get the following error. Then I have to go through the win8 trouble shooting to make the computer work again.

Your motherboard isn't 100% Windows 8 compatible. I would try to start to disable "GIGABYTE SATA2" to start with and make sure you have your harddisks (ODD and SSD too if you have them) are connected to SATA2_0, SATA2_1, SATA2_2, SATA2_3 or SATA2_4.

Do you have any other add-on cards plugged in? I don't see the hardware list...
